Which Billy Joel song contains the lyric 'You may be right, I may be crazy'?
Answer
You May Be Right
Answer
You May Be Right
The Billy Joel song containing the lyric “You may be right, I may be crazy” is “You May Be Right.” Joel wrote and performed the song, which was released in 1980 as the opening track and lead single from his album Glass Houses.
The song presents a narrator admitting that his behavior may be reckless or irrational while refusing to surrender his individuality. Its energetic blend of rock, pop, and new-wave elements helped make it one of Joel's signature concert songs. The album version famously begins with the sound of breaking glass, a musical reference to the “glass house” named in the album title.
“You May Be Right” reached No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It is easy to confuse it with “It's Still Rock and Roll to Me,” another hit from Glass Houses, but that song was released later as the album's second single. “My Life” and “Big Shot” belong to earlier Joel releases.
